About Wazapp

Wazapp is an IM application for N9 that allows you to chat with your Whatsapp buddies.

Wazapp consists of 2 parts, the IM application (wazapp), which is in Python, and the accounts plugin (waxmppplugin) in C++. The accounts plugin should be rewritten in python soon.

Despite thousands of Nokia N9 users signing an online petition, WhatsApp Inc. ignored all demands for releasing a version for the MeeGo. Tarek Galal released the first version of Wazapp for public beta testing on May 18, 2012. On May 25, 2012 Wazapp was made open source on GitHub. As of September 2012, Wazapp supports almost all features of the official WhatsApp client and languages (see features and languages comparison below).

Wait for verification code. Wazapp should register automatically if left open

Registration fail-too-recent:XXX

Error Message:

"Failed. Server said: fail-too-recent:XXX"

Solution:
There are various solutions for this situation

* You recently registered or logged in, please wait for about XXX minutes before trying to re-register.
* You are using multiple devices with the same number on WhatsApp. WhatsApp meant for one device per session. Please remove WhatsApp completely from your previous device and re-register after mentioned XXX minutes

Wazapp Notifications Icon covers SMS Notification Icon

When you have an unread Wazapp message as well as an unread SMS, you might see only a Wazapp Notification Icon.

This is NOT a bug but a feature in Harmattan whereby SMS/IM/Wazapp are displayed by the latest Notification icon only!

Wazapp media is NOT found in Gallery

By default, all Wazapp media using Tarek's build is stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.wazapp/

Navigate to this location by using a file manager like Filebox to view the media.

In CepiPerez's build all Wazapp media are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/Wazapp/media and should appear in the Gallery

Last Seen Time for a Contact is Inaccurate

Error:

When Opening a Chat with a Contact, the last seen time is Inaccurate. Mostly, it is the time when you last sent a message to the contact.

Work-around:

Return to the Chat menu and Open the Chat with the Contact again. The Last Seen time will now be updated to be reflected accurately.

Red Dots Appear instead of Notification Icons

Error:

On the Low-Power Screen, Status Bar and Lockscreen instead of the green Wazapp Notification Icon, a Red Square/Box/Dot appears.

Solution:

Reboot your phone. Most probably you have done a fresh installation and have not rebooted your phone.

Pictures not Appearing for Selecting Profile Picture

Error:

When choosing a Profile Picture, the selection screen has an ever-spinning spinner.

Solution:

Quit Wazapp and re-start it. If it still isn't fixed, uninstall Wazapp from your system and delete all files in /opt/waxmppplugin/ before rebooting your device and re-installing the latest version of Wazapp

Changing language does not work

Error:

When changing the language and restarting Wazapp, the language is still english.

Solution:

CepiPerez dev builds don't include language files other than English, even though other languages are visible in the settings menu. However, if you want to use a language other than English in "development" builds, follow these directions: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1277303#post1277303

Sending voice recordings does not work

Error:

When sending voice recordings nothing happens.

Solution:

You need to receive a voice recording from your contact first.

Conversation missing and need to re-register after swapped SIM card

Error:

After swapped sim card, Wazapp will ask user to re-register and previous conversation is missing.

Solution:

This is expected and that is how it works in WhatsApp official client.
